In index.template.php just above function template_main_below()...

Find...
# Hack's Park ||
template_HP_shoutBoxMain();
   
Switch to...
# Hack's Park ||
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
template_HP_shoutBoxMain();

Thanks a lot working perfectly .

1. no button shows the "Send Message" button
2. No admin panel
3. when you go to admin --- under forums , there is no HP or HacksPark Link for shoutbox :( am I missing something ?

my theme is default , and I downloaded and zip package and uploaded it to my server and automatically installed it. any ideas would be great

Quote from: GhostWalker on January 02, 2009, 09:37:21 PMI added the mod but no Shout Box appears. Any ideas as to why? Under Admin it shows I can edit permissions so something is there, but no shoutbox :(
Quote from: CrisisX on January 03, 2009, 02:57:53 PMI have installed it, and on the admin section of my site I see a Hack's Park tab, but how do I make this shoutbox show on my website, www.CrisisX.com?

make sure all the files that the ShoutBox needs are on your custom template folder, also in the administration panel, in the input where you set the pages where you liked the ShoutBox to be showed, add this "boardindex"

Quote from: Menard on January 03, 2009, 04:10:10 PMSorry for being dumb, but is that your way of saying, "Yes, you CAN integrate video directly into this shout box"?  Because I'd have no idea where to begin or what would need to be done to the shoutbox code to integrate a video player.  I can obviously get everything set with organizing a video subdirectory on my webhost and all that jazz.  But as for adjusting the shoutbox code in order to display video above the text input field, I'm one of those idiots whose hand would need to be held.  Well, maybe that's a slight exaggeration.

Based on what you said above (and my own naivete), I'm led to believe that simply slapping in a video url somewhere in the shoutbox code (perhaps where the adjustments were made to index.template.php?) will allow the autoembed to play a video just like I want it to.  But I have a hard time believing it would really be that simple.  Is it?


Unrelated question: In another part of my board, we have a Quotations Hall of Shame.  Any chance a future version would be able to integrate a quotation feature for exportation to the message board?

About the video, try making an image to let me know where exactly you wanna embed clips, then ill give you an answer, maybe i can do the modification in a bit

about the quotation thing, i think its possible, ill let makito know that

Alright.  Currently, it looks like pic #1.  Which is wonderful.  When in movie mode, it would be nice if it looked like pic #2, or some approximation thereof.

Again, no rush.  It's more or less one of those "in a perfect world" scenarios.  As is, we're already quite enjoying the shout box.  Cannot WAIT to see what the future has in store for this mod!



On another unrelated note, I'm going to scour this thread again to see what it takes to get this up and running with Tiny Portal; I checked out their site last night, and TP looks quite awesomely feature-packed indeed!  I may switch over & join the cult.  :)

Alright, now I see the box and where to add text. But when you "Send message" it does not show up at all. The Mod says it works for 1.1.7 but the "Files" installing with the Mod just say 1.1.5 and 1.1.6  :(   WHat am I doing wrong?

please make sure all the Hak's Park ShoutBox's files are where they must be, for example

HP_shoutBox.english-utf8

change the extension of the file "HP_shoutBox.english.php" to "HP_shoutBox.english-utf8.php", and put it into your custom template folder, also look at the .js files, images and stuff, you can unpack the .zip package and copy the files, they are in folders, so you can easy understand where they must be

He must have been referring to something very unique to your situation mate, because we're running 1.1.7 here on my site and everything works ace.  No bollocks here.

You said everything looks normal now but you can't send a message?
A couple things:

1) It seems you might be using a custom theme?  If so, go to your webhost and pull up your file manager.  Look at your SMF default theme folder.  For the Hack's Park Shoutbox items in there, there will be some .js files and a few php files.  Take a quick mental note of them.  I believe there ought to be like 5 or so.  They all start with "HP_"

2) Now go to the folder containing the theme you're using (again, assuming you're using a non-default theme).  Open the folder and assess the situation: is it or is it not the case that all the same Hack's Park files are also there?  If not, that's your problem.

3) Go back to default, copy all those files into Notepad, save those files with the SAME NAMES AND appropriate extension (copy/paste the file name for a fool-proof measure).  Go back to your custom theme and simply upload those files to that theme's folder.  Or, if you like, you can FTP them.

That's what worked for me when I had the same problem.  I had to copy nearly every file from default that started with HP_ and suddenly, everything worked great!  Good luck!





For anyone encountering a similar problem with the BBC buttons not showing up in your custom theme's shoutbox (I had this problem at one point, and thus I bring it up), but they are there in default, guess what?  Same easy fix as described above...go to Default Theme > Images > BBC > find/save the button images you are lacking in your custom theme, go to Your_Theme > Images > BBC > upload those images.

I believe that is just the auto-refresh indicator.  It goes off every so many seconds when the box is active; this is something that can be adjusted in the admin. options.  Glad you got things up and running!  I hope it was my directions that helped!

:)  Oh, I didn't mention that for credit's sake.  Credit should go to JCS, who walked ME through it more or less a few pages back.  I just reiterated it in great detail to make things clear.  What I was more referring to was not knowing if you were working with a theme other than default and the fact that I was taking a stab in the dark and then spouting off in the hopes that WAS your problem.  Either way, good to know you're up and running.  I find problems like this are a good way to learn a few basic things along the way, too.
